A police officer and the driver of the second vehicle were taken to Nebraska Medicine for evaluation of injuries. A passenger in the second vehicle was transported to a Council Bluffs hospital.
Names of the injured have not been released. Police are investigating whether speed and alcohol were factors in the accident.
